SIGHTLINES JOURNAL
Sightlines: Filmmaking in the Academy Journal is Australia’s leading venue for screen-based non-traditional research outputs. It features an array of work (including screenplays, documentary, and moving image pieces), all of which are published alongside written practitioner statements and peer reviews of the work. This format fosters critical debate on the evolving nature of screen-based creative practice research, by highlighting a variety of research aims and approaches.
The journal was born out of a conference of the same name, which was first held at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in 2014. The first two issues of the journal were linked to this conference, while a more open call for contributions resulted in issues three and four. The journal is currently managed by the ASPERA Research Subcommittee. Please stay tuned for future calls for works!
